Shroomies
Hi everyone! just wanted to share with you that I have 8 new Mushroom Forests available tonight at 7 pm MST for Red Hot Robot's Locals Only show. http://www.redhotrobot.netWhen the 2X3" diorama box is held under a light source it illuminates and changes color, allowing you to explore! Each is revealed in MF chart pic below - normal on the left side and held under a light on the right. Everything hand made including the packaging. larger pic here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zillipilli/5415653371/sizes/l/in/photostream/

Re: Shroomies
hey thanks Cliff! appreciate the positive vibes. Wow that Ron English piece is amazing! looks big too! Never seen this before, thanks for sharing dude. These guys are very hard to photograph...at least for me anyway. The whole box measures only 2X3" so its hard to get the camera to focus super close, plus in person the light is like 10 times more vibrant. I really tried to creat an illusion of depth on these. the way things are positioned, when you tilt the box left and right, it looks like the forest goes on a lot more than 2 inches. These guys are time consuming to make, especially since i hand cut all the packaging, so prob won't be making too many. $35 - solid colors $50 - painted

Re: Shroomies
Heres another couple pics of a neon pink one. (please disregard the looks of the packaging, these were tests so the actual ones are much nicer). unlit from above lit from above

Re: Shroomies
The Shroomies are pretty amazing - people in the shop have been spending a lot of time staring at them.. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to put items from the Only Locals show online (shop moving next week = time killer), but there are 6 Shroomies still available, 5 solid + 1 painted - just contact me if interested

Re: Shroomies
thanks dudes! Paul- that means a lot Sean- you guys rock NT- thanks man, i really had to hold myself back from that...haha..but wanted them to be affordable for people too. Plus, i really was trying to accomplish the trick of something looking bigger on the inside than the whole package itself. back story if yer interested (printed on back of box) its been nice being able to share with you guys on here...i respect a lot of you're work as well

Re: Shroomies
These are really amazing. Taking resin to a whole new level. I had to get what I term the "peng!" colorway.

Re: Shroomies
Argh they are so pretty. I always sleep on releases because I'm never paying attention. The pink look nice but I have to admit I prefer the none solid colors. And whats with the two spencer accounts? Did you go through mitosis and split into two?

Re: Shroomies
These are totally cool. I agree one in large size would really kick it. I can't stop staring at the pics of them, I can only imagine how much better they are in person. The silver ones especially are sweet. Great work!

Re: Shroomies
Thanks guys, appreciate the good vibes. Michael - much respect for your work as well my friend. so these are the last of the mushroom forests. only about 30 out there. i wanted those who have one to feel like they have something unique and rare. therefore to make this special, the first person to post a screen grab of their order, will receive free of charge a bubble gum pink Goo Goo Ghandi. this deal is only for the skullbrainers. a way of saying thank you. heres the link to get your hands on the last of the shroomies: http://www.compoundgallery.com/Artist/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=850final note - a new diorama will be released soon. 1.5 -2 X larger

Re: Shroomies
I keep debating pulling the trigger, and I'd love another Goo Goo. Are there any of the others left, I tried checking out enjoy5and6 a while ago and it seemed to be none functioning as online presence.

Re: Shroomies
these be the last of em. sorry you couldn't get one of the multi colored ones from 5and6, they were a small startup gallery, that i was helping out so yeah, don't think they're online presence was very strong. well, I'll give the free GGG deal another 24 hours on here, then i'll make it available to the public. Quote: And whats with the two spencer accounts? ha. yes old one was giving me problems signing in so just decided to start a new one.
